Water Lantern Celebration

Lighting The Way For People Of All Abilities

Water Lantern 2021 is in the books! We may have had a one-day rain delay but we landed on perfect sunny fall day to celebrate people of all abilities. Hundreds of lanterns hand decorated by folks across the state floated across Plattwood Pond including over 200 lanterns created by special education students from area schools as well as residents of Brian House, Kirtland Commons and Essex Meadows, thanks to the generosity of donors and sponsors! The lanterns were all beautiful with messages of hope, gratitude and possibility. We could not be more thankful for all who participated including 50 volunteers, 96 sponsors and hundreds of participants. Together $35,000 was raised to support our mission and change the lives of young adults with disabilities. Kudos to all who made the magical evening come to life.
